Sign Up Genius

We use Sign Up Genius to let people know about upcoming volunteer events where help is needed. This sign up list is not the same one that is used for PNC work. It is for parades, football, dinners and other events.

If you wish to volunteer, you have to be added to the Sign Up Genius contact list. Please send a note to Howard Krovetz with the subject line “Please Add me to Sign Up Genius”.

Volunteer Registration with WCPSS

Please see information below provided by WCPSS Human Resources on the volunteer process for the 2012-2013 school year. Please share with appropriate groups/volunteers. The following information describes the procedures for reactivation for continuing volunteers, the process for new volunteers to obtain CRC clearance, and a summary of the appeal procedures.

Reactivation for Continuing Volunteers

• All continuing volunteers approved for the 2011-2012 school year MUST reactivate as a volunteer no later than 4:00 p.m. on October 31, 2012.

• After October 31, 2012, individuals previously approved may not volunteer without a new criminal record check.
